Chengmai Laocheng Container House
There are container house-related businesses in Chengmai Laocheng, mainly focusing on second-hand container trading, leasing, and container applications in some industrial projects. Here is a detailed analysis:

Second-hand Container Trading and Maintenance
The site on the North First Ring Road in Chengmai Laocheng provides second-hand container handling services, including container maintenance and refurbishment. For example, Haikou Haixingcheng Light Steel Products Co., Ltd. conducts second-hand container business on the North First Ring Road, offering maintained and refurbished containers and marking them as 'Services available around Haikou'. Such businesses are usually aimed at users who need low-cost temporary housing or storage space. After maintenance, the containers can meet basic usage requirements.
Container Leasing Services
The business scope of Chengmai Laocheng Xinyuan Construction Equipment Leasing Center explicitly includes 'container leasing services', indicating the existence of a container leasing market in the local area. The center also provides leasing services for construction engineering machinery and office equipment, suggesting that container leasing may form a package with the leasing of other construction equipment to serve short-term engineering or temporary project needs.
Container Applications in Industrial Projects
Some industrial project plans involve container-related facilities. For example:
- Hainan Laocheng Economic Development Zone Standard Factory Building (West Zone) Project: It plans to build cold chain and factory building projects, including cold storage, standard factory buildings, and other facilities. Although container houses are not directly mentioned, containers are often used for transportation or temporary storage in cold chain logistics, and the project may indirectly involve container applications.
- Macun Port Phase III Project: As a port terminal project, containers are the core transportation units. However, the project plan mainly focuses on building construction and supporting projects, and does not explicitly include the construction of container houses.
Policies and Compliance
Hainan has reported several cases of illegal occupation of cultivated land for the construction of container board houses. For example, an agricultural company was ordered to demolish containers built on permanent basic farmland. Such cases indicate that the construction of container houses must strictly comply with land use planning, and unauthorized occupation of cultivated land or basic farmland is illegal. In Chengmai Laocheng, the legal application of container houses should be based on industrial land or temporary land.
